Introduction to "Desolate Col"
The land in Heishi'ao, which is hidden deep in the mountains, is barren and suffers from drought and water shortage all year round. Lu Xunzhou, who has been working abroad for more than ten years, returned to his hometown with his savings, but everything he saw was poverty. Material poverty has trapped the whole village, and the spiritual gap has even dispirited people in Shan'ao. The two major clans of Lu and Zhao have had feuds for generations. Neighbors often fight over fields, mountains and springs. In front of people, they are called neighbors from the same hometown, but secretly they are full of suspicion and gossip. When there is a profit, everyone rushes to get closer, and when disaster strikes, everyone takes care of themselves.
Seeing the perennial water shortage, Lu Xunzhou decided to spend most of his savings to take the lead in building a reservoir, hoping to benefit the whole village. He originally thought that sincere dedication could unite people, but he never thought that a practical matter that would benefit the people would become a arena of clan games and selfish calculations. All parties are restraining each other, rumors are spreading everywhere, there are people deliberately obstructing the situation in the dark, and anonymous reports are coming one after another.
Enthusiasm is constantly being consumed in the quagmire of human feelings. There are no pure villains in Huangao, and every villager is struggling to survive under the pressure of survival. When his ardent original intention collided with endless narrowness and indifference, Lu Xunzhou had to face the cruel reality: on the barren mountain, the hearts of people who have been scattered for a long time may never truly be reunited.
